Just horrendous. There was a big Jewish gathering on the beach. Jewish festival goers targeted by two gunmen. At least ten people dead according to police.

Actually, No! I saw a friend had marked themselves save & googled bondi & most headlines said beach shooting - with little more context.

Come on. You've said several times on this thread that it wasn't being reported that it was an attack on a Jewish event. Now you're saying you hadn't even bothered to look beyond the headlines.

You made a bad error of judgement (let's be charitable). You suggested nobody would know they were Jews unless they were wearing badges to identify them as such. When others reacted with horror, you didn't apologise and ask for your post to be withdrawn, you told them they were all horrible for seeing the obvious connection with the Nazis. Go off and do a namechange and think harder before posting another time.

People who want to get their hands on a gun will find a way. Just like anything else illegal they want to acquire. The IRA managed to get flamethrowers and rocket launchers here in NI.

Terrible terrible tragedy. Those poor people. How can anyone not see this as antisemitic?

We have tough gun laws too. So it could happen here? Very scary. The news is saying they shot from a position next to a children's playground.

I haven't got a clue what Raise the Colours is. Does it change the bravery of the man wrestling the gun away in the middle of a terrorist shooting in any way?

Utterly ridiculous to take issue with the link and not the event it is portraying.

Personally I appreciate the warning. I think it’s important we try to not let these events get exploited to strengthen other sorts of hate.

My god, that was absolutely not my intention!!! How dare you even insinuate that. My meaning was there wasn't anything suggesting in the reporting that the Jewish community is targeted. You (and im sure many many others - gross!!) really have taken my comment way out of what I meant - id never insinuate anything so awful.

Don’t be so disingenuous. It’s exactly what you meant.

buffyajp · 14/12/2025 10:47

Don’t try and deflect please. This is about a horrific terrorist attack on the Jewish community. Nothing else.

100%.

And don't tell Jewish people what is or is not anti semitic. We see you.

Awful news to just read. Innocent people including children going about their normal lives. I am so angry that some people are so sick to do stuff like this.

Buffypaws · 14/12/2025 10:56

I can’t believe it but I also think it was inevitable. i was horrified by scenes (chanting) in Australia 2 years ago

And yet people are STILLallowed to marching the UK holding massive signs calling for infitada. Why aren’t the arrested? What do people think it’s means? It’s means this - killing Jews.

That’s because our glorious leaders are terrified of in any way appearing to come across as anti, or suspicious of, Muslims.

Couldn’t you have found a link that wasn’t by a fascist organization?

HumbleCaptain · 14/12/2025 11:00

How terrible to deliberately target a Religious event. Any religion.
Military type SLR (self loading rifle) I think and the man on the bridge.

Greysowhat · 14/12/2025 11:00

10 killed

habin · 14/12/2025 11:00

has @Whenlifegiveslemons given an apology yet for their posts?

The BBC just showed the video. The bystander is a massive bloke. The gunman runs off. He didn't like it when the tables are turned and the gun was pointed at him.

If you're likely to have your opinion swayed by the name of the person posting a video without commentary, then fair enough if you need a "warning".

People were massacred again because they were Jewish. A brave man made the number a bit less. Someone was able to evidence it and it was shown globally. People complaining about where the information is from are way more problematic in my opinion.

More fascist than the ones spending their sunday afternoons gunning down innocent people at the beach, including children?

Yea, it’s only bigotry if you’re actually murdering people. Well done for that hot take, you brave soldier.

Buffypaws · 14/12/2025 11:02

Police confirmed it was targeting Jews

GentleSheep · 14/12/2025 11:02

News conference on now. They are reporting 12 killed. Watching it on AFTV on YT.

Lifesd · 14/12/2025 11:03

12 dead now - just awful.

xmasstress12 · 14/12/2025 11:04

Wow the man who tackled the gunman was crazy brave.

NewNameforThisPost2025 · 14/12/2025 11:04

Oh, this is TERRIBLE!

And a shooting today at Brown University in the US, too - at least 2 dead and 9 injured.

What the FUCK is WRONG with these people? Are they crazy or are they just evil?
